Mentoring Series When Women Lead: How female leadership is crafting the new success paradigm across foreign policy and national security; business and technology. As we navigate the most uncertain times since World War II, what qualities help women leaders succeed when odds are stacked against them? What skills and approaches are newly viewed as critical to the success of the next generation of female leaders, from Washington to Silicon Valley to cyberspace, and around the world? How are female leadership strategies and commonalities creating new success standards across sectors – especially around societal impact and purpose-driven missions – and how does this blueprint affect the way we will conduct foreign policy, diplomacy, business, and more, in the future? Please join us for a leadership “masterclass” event targeting mentors and mentees alike, spanning business, foreign policy, tech diplomacy, and beyond. This event is in partnership with DACOR.
